English abstract:
Improved entropy decay estimates for the heat equation are obtained by selecting
well parameterized Gaussians. Either by mass centering or by fixing the second
moments or the covariance matrix of the solution, relative entropy towards these
Gaussians is shown to decay with better constants than classical estimates.
